Bruh,

There are ways of doing this in LyX, using ERT for example, but if the 
frontmatter requirements are very specific the simplest solution is to create 
these front pages separately (in LaTeX, for example, or perhaps a DTP program 
such as Scribus) and merge the two PDF files using Pdftk 
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk).

Hey all,

Thanks for the help. It worked.

But, I still have one problem. I am using a report document class for my
thesis. It has only topic page. So, how can i create the front pages of my
thesis such as the topic page, logo,acknowledgment page etc. in Lyx?

 When I see the pdf output, the width of the text on the

 the width of the page. Because of this, my thesis is

 But, this is not the case in latex or when you convert

 This depends on the document class you use. With the same document
 class, this should be the same as in latex.

 So, what is the solution for this problem. Is there some
 setting that can increase the length of text per line so
 that the text covers most of the page?

 You could either choose a different document class (in
 Document-Settings...-Document Class), or you may  adjust the Page
 Format (in Document-Settings...-Page Layout) or you might want to
 choose other Page Margins (in Document-Settings...-Page Margins).

  The KOMA-script report class has greater flexibility and capabilities than
does the plain report class. You can add a logo above the title, below it,
or on a different page. Other pages can be created as you wish.

  Create two (or more) pdf files. Then use pdftk (the PDF Tool Kit) to
concatenate them. For example:

pdftk front.pdf main.pdf back.pdf cat -output thesis.pdf

Hi,

Do like Vincent said

To get MS-Word margins

Go to Document  settings  page margins
and use Top/bottom 2.54
right/left margins 3.17.

Another options is to plug into the preamble

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,letterpaper,tmargin=2.54cm,bmargin=2.54cm,lmargin=3.17cm,rmargin=3.17cm}

But then, if you have a heading, you need to fix that, because it will still
be in default,  more narrow.
